What is it doing exactly? Maybe the security thing is normal for this patch? It is supposed to defeat the security after all. You can't expect it to work the same way as stock.

Edit: I did see something posted in the home thread about certain changes that may work. I see the thread search tool is still down. Maybe wait until it's back up. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
I am stating that I think it works fine, because it didnt ask to lock down security. If you could get to an exchange server with security on the stock apks, I think the patched one will probably work without security. Unfortunately I cannot completely confirm because of a bug in ICS email client (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1545986)

I had hoped that the patched apks would fix my problem but they didnt.

On GB everything works great. Since ICS, setup goes all the way through and sits there at loading. No cal or email update. And it sucks the battery dry. It sucks :p Ive been running touchdown trial in hopes the bug gets squashed in 30 days.

This bug is probably fixed in the official update, if sprint ever releases, and if its not, Ill push to get a siii :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
I am a big fan of Touchdown. Most importantly because it allows you to be secure without having to lock your whole phone down. Exchange is relegated to its own area, but still accessible from other areas in the phone where it is important.

They update their app regularly as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cephraim:
Have you guys tried Enhanced Email? It has the Exchange security defeat built in. I haven't updated to this ICS build yet, but works great on Blazer GB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
Yea I like it. Its a wee bit expensive for my tastes. Also to combine it and my google calendar on the homescreen I need pure widget evidently.

I tried it. Since it is built on the ICS exchange account, it suffers from the same bug that is affecting me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Any particular reason the init.d scripts in 4.0 are 0644 ?

None of them were running... Just started added execute to some.. and phone got stuck booting somewhere.. redid perms minus zip align / io and it boots..

Going to hunt down some of this but... shouldn't these scripts be running on boot ?

not getting voice mail notifications have visual voicemail installed and i get the voicemail if i call my inbox but dont get notified of a new vm?

tried activating youmail but that doesnt seem to even go to voicemail for the caller just starts beeping

by the way im using the fe10 version of visual vm

setup google voice to use as vm. but is there any other option for this rom?

any idea?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
I just wanted to thank the developer/developers who are responsible for this rom. It is very solid and stable and I just love it. Also, thank you Tdunham for all the little tweaks that make it so much better, especially the app switcher fix.

Looking forward to future updates! Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
Do you mean the little notification isn't showing up on your voicemail icon on the home screen? Try adding the widget for vvm instead of the app icon from the app drawer. Sorry if that's not what your issue is, figured I'd give it a shot though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] willv23:
Thanks I will try that out!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
2hrs 37mins and at 35% left

Seriously considering a return to the Alpha release where the battery seemed better.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] willv23:
No go vad. Tried to add the widget and it just added the normal app to home screen. Weird!

Thx 4 the input
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordJummy:
I'm on v0.1.3 and the OTA app says there's a new release of the ROM. I hit download and it's the same version #

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
The icons will be identical but the widget does show notifications on the icon similar to the SMS notification count. I know when i tried using Google voice once it really screwed up my ability to receive voicemails. Maybe just completely get rid of all traces of third party voicemail apps, reflash the sprint vvm zip (I cannot seem to find it although I know I've seen it floating around in either this thread or calukins) and go from there. Pain in the you know what, I know! Cheers..let us know how you make out.

Have any of the developers made any headway on the 4G random reboots?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
What 4g reboots?

Dont know what you mean but....

You could try my experimental Sleepy4g to see if it helps... depending on your problem

Actually, just PM me if you want to know more, we may be able to do it with no downloads or installs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think he means if 4G is left on constantly, the phone will randomly reboot. It's an ICS bug. It usually takes a while. For me when I was testing it, the phone would reboot almost exactly every hour. I don't use 4G enough (can't use it much :() to really see it happen here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Ineteresting... Ive never known this issue and I was doing nonstop wimax testing for a long time.

Well, I *think* I might be able to help.. Correct next if Im way off base..

If Im understanding right, the issue may simply be the radio requesting too power while sleep governor is active, no? Thats the only "random" reboots Ive ever gotten... Maybe Im lucky.. But I think adjusting extensions and implementing a wimax sup. scan may cure it..

Or im full of it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dragonOL2:
Awesome, about to try some of these now. Question though... If Phantom updates and includes some of these as well in a new ICS Blazer, will it conflict with your versions of the mods and cause unforseen errors? Just checking before I jump on board...

Thanx for your hard work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That is an awesome question.

When PH releases the next update, I will be checking the changelog closely (hint) and updating all my threads and the link page accordingly and noting anything that may possibly break something else in all these threads (now that the links are so conveniently located in one place :D).

If you notice, I already added a note to the links page that the Ascending Ringtones mod is compatible with v0.1.3 Blazer.

I try to think ahead but as anyone that has been doing this a while should already know: ALWAYS HAVE A CURRENT BACKUP HANDY... lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
Not too shabby! Very moderate usage as well.

*edit* I just realized something very strange. I didn't use maps at all yesterday... I wonder how maps used 10% of my battery? I keep my GPS running I wonder if that's what it is. Oh well, lol. Got good battery life either way!

I wish I could get over 9 hours of battery but I use my phone alot. Internet, flashlight, and radio so battery life is about the same length as my time at work but on getting almost 2 hours or screen on time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Like a wise person once said... 'I use my phone. Battery gets low I charge it. Get over it!' :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
(Ita gonna sound rude, but its not)

Does that say two hours of screen on time? Until what? Dead battery?

What, are you powering a small nation?

I use my phone so much its disgusting... Testing so many things...flashing all day... If I get less than 3hrs screen on (happened twice, excluding rom flashes) I consider throwing my phone through a ... Nvm..

Point is...

I keep reading about people and these battery issues....

I really want to help them, but it seems to fall on def eyes...

If anybody is having chronic battery stats like that feel free to pm me, please..

I love a good challenge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] codyphillips90:
The first one is from a week ago and the 2nd one is from right now.

I'm getting 8 to 9 hours out of a charge which I'm OK with but its crazy to see 20 hours
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
Turn on airplane mode before rebooting - this will keep the battery from reporting such a huge loss.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] willv23:
just thought i would share this... i installed this rom maybe four days ago and had everything backed up and restored using titanium backup.

i had games from gingerbread and apps like nba jam, need for speed, monopoly, sprint nba mobile etc i tried other ics roms before this and the gb apps never worked on ics.

i was able to restore everything from gingerbread on this rom!

i then flashed googlenow and setup and used it then rebooted my phone and all the gingerbread apps were gone!

long story short i had to fresh install and restore everything minus googlenow add on

just wondering if anyone has had this happen? not a big deal for me i rather have games then googlenow lol just thought i would share my experience
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
WOW. You know I never look at my screen on time, I just took it off the charger but I'm gonna check it out later for sure.

Extended reboot toggle: works! :D

Recent app fix and CRT animation: works! :D

GPS fix: definitely works! Clear lock inside my home in less than 5 seconds! :D

Thanks TD, these are really great. Question: does your GS3 shutdown animation come with shutdown sound included?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I looked and found all the sounds (alarm, ringtones, media, notifications) but not the poweroff sound. If anyone knows where it is, share please. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
The animation is quite nice anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I #should# be able to find you any S3 components that you need, i full system dumps somewhere....

Where is the power off located? Isnt it within the stock .qng?

Also, wont it only register if you DONT have "../bootanimation" converted to "../samsungani" if that is the case ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The poweroff.wav goes in system/etc I think. This is the poweroff, not the bootanimimation stuff. I already posted the sgs3 shutdown animation, someone was asking if we could find the sound that goes with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I understand all that, what I was asking was if "samsungani" would contribute to the actual being-able-to-hear-it thing.

I found a lib "powersound", a couple of ( I believe,) start ups "power.." "bootanim0(&1).raw" sounds.. I'm still looking... I honestly thought the shut down sound was in one of the qmg files in media, I've only had it sounding off once, but then again... I never hear any start sounds either....

I'll check etc again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Dunno, I've always thought the sounds were seperate. Most custom roms have certain system sounds stripped out. Most of the sounds reside in system/media. However, poweron is an exception. It could be an .ogg file too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Yeah, apparently I don't have as much of an S3 supporting system as I used to ....

I'm having to restore over a couple of .SOs not taking.. lol as you said, fickle, fickle machines... I've had this phone to the point where it actually thought it was an s3 and now a couple extra libs kills it. lmao. I'll find it. I know for a fact I have it.. as I have heard it before...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
I think it's pretty amazing that before while running stock gingerbread I'd score an average of 5880 on antutu and after flashing this rom I manage to score this! That is pretty significant I would say. The rom doesn't change clock speed or anything like that correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
I noticed in Calks thread you said you needed something to do, lol.

Any chance you could take this AOSP email app and wrap it up into a flashable zip?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23453559&postcount=5

Everytime I install the damn thing and fix the permissions it just becomes a huge headache, especially since I flash new roms and rom updates so much. It normally takes me half an hour to get it working properly.

I bet that's from rebooting, I was just talking about that.

Fishfuzz says turn airplane mode on right before rebooting. ;)

And wouldn't you know it... you can do that right from the restart menu.

So it's pretty easy to try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erasable:
You know what? You're right. I can't believe I didn't put that together. Brainfart. Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
It really looks as if you lost the most significant amount while having screen off with android awake..

That's a pretty good starting point.

You may to turn of mobile (or just background) data during those times when your screen is off for hours.

There are a multitude of ways to do that... the right script, or even the right app.

I'm going to PM you a link to an app that can help you greatly, but I strongly recommend that you discuss what which settings in this app you are going to apply...

If configured improperly, it's not a very safe app.. (you could suffer random reboots or potentially even full on boot-loops, unless you less you are cautious)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erasable:
I wasn't very clear with my post, but the drop I was referring to was the drastic one near the end. Is this the one you're referring to?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Lol not at all what caught my attention, that was probably you flashing something... Id be more concernes with right before that charge, when its steeper than it was during moderate use...

That is something more practical to manage.

any way to add jelly bean transition animations to this rom? the ICS one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
I know at least the email one works - I don't know if the exchange one is even needed since i'm not doing anything exchange related.

I wasn't looking for the stock one, which was why I linked the other one - the AOSP email app - I like how its themed almost exactly the same as the gmail app.

One thing that USED to bug me about the stock Samsung email app was how it wouldn't let you select multiple things to delete, a major inconvenience it appears they fixed.

Normally with the AOSP email, I paste the apk into the system/app folder and set permissions, but the damn thing never works right, and right now I can't remember how I usually fix it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
You want an s3 launcher and no 4g reboots? No problem.. Gimme 5 minutes and you can have those two things on any rom

(probably) lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, yes and no.

Yes, you will have 4G reboots on this ROM unless you install the new Hotspot fix I released here today a few posts back.

Yes, this is a touchwiz based rom.

And no, G3 launcher is not installed by default. Additional launchers may be available in the next release but the G3 will probably not be one of them. It is something you can install on your own however.

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

This rom is designed to be as close to stock as possible, lightly themed and provides the user the choice of how they want to customize and theme it without it being forced upon them.

The Hotspot fix was necessary. The SG3 launcher http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1667854 again is something not really designed for this phone so use at your own risk, ya know. But I've been sticking around PH & Calk's roms for a good reason, which I already stated above. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
Oh....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
First, stating you WILL have 4g reboots on this rom is incorrect. I have downloaded no "fix" and have never once suffered from it.

I still think this has to do with faulty power distribution due to an untuned sleep governer

Second, I made a friendly S3 zip and tested it. It is obviously by choice to use it.

It has bootani

smando launcher

services.jar

and widgets

it's uploading to dropbox now.
